    Well, I am not quite sure what you are presenting. It is a bit abstract without dimensions and the context of a motor and wheels.

    Personally, I would be looking for a well-designed package that includes a good wheel, a strong axle, a motor with enough speed and heft, and an appropriate mount.

    It really is about how much payload one needs to carry. While the BoeBot is a good demonstration of concepts, it cannot easily survive abuse in the real world. One would say it is a bit light-weight.

    I guess the next step up is a medium weight system that can carry rather heavy batteries and actually do some remote lifting and shifting.

    Then there are the heavy-weights that can stand abuse and can exist with being stepped on by people or dropped.

    Since much evolves around the availablilty of the right motor. I would start with catagorizing motors, and matching wheel assemblies to their shafts. The bracket is the last element to design and a good survey may show that you could create one bracket that applies to several kinds of motors.
